Page 11 - HEC - POLICY FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AT

5.6. The views of the student with disabilities will be taken into consideration at all times during the
assessment of their needs. The assessment report, containing detailed recommendations, will
be shared with the student prior to its implementation.

5.7. Alternatively, the class instructor, the Disability Coordinators and the student may mutually
discuss and decide on any special requirements needed (including those needed for mid- term
or final examinations) and accommodations at the start of the course and share them with the
Accessibility Committee if its support is needed.

5.8. These accommodations may take considerable time, and students should be informed of their
course requirements, course components and reading materials well before the
commencement of a course and on their accessibility requirements at the start of the course.

5.9. The Accessibility Committee will monitor the implementation of any accommodations deemed
necessary and reasonable.

5.10. The University will ensure the provision of the same level of services and support to students
who acquire any disability (or become aware of their disability) during the course of their
study. Every reasonable opportunity will be provided to them to complete their studies
successfully.

5.11. Clause deleted**.

5.12. Faculty and staff should be aware of the use of accommodations and learning aides for
students with disabilities.

5.13. HEIs shall have training programs to train faculty, staff, and members of the accessibility
committee on best practices for accommodating students with disabilities and especially
encourage its staff, faculty, and students to participate in development opportunities related
to the provision of education to persons with disabilities.

5.14. Students with disabilities shall be encouraged to suggest improvements in accessibility and
accommodation services available at the HEI. If one student with a particular type of disability
had difficulty with a specific task, the faculty, the Accessibility Committee, and the Disability
Coordinators may not assume that the next student with the same type of disability will
experience similar problems. Students with disabilities are frequently sensitive about their
disabilities, so faculty, the Disability Coordinators and staff should make every effort to treat
these issues sensitively and confidentially.
